Again, as with the past several weeks, 2 very nice mid-week shows. The way the Tuesday show is set up, I would not be surprised if it involved a GAC taping for their Opry show. I know they have done it in the past.

Watson & Wariner -- two solid ones, for sure, who shine even brighter in the rearview mirror. They are two who took the country tradition and did their own thing with it without doing violence to the format. (I played a Wariner single only Saturday night, "Life's Highway," from the '80s sometime, wow.) They're among the last who gave us the best of both worlds -- originality, innovation, something new but in the context we all could recognize as country.

With Vince Gill on the Tuesday Night Opry this week, I thought it would be a good time to look back, as on August 10, 1991, Vince became a member of the Grand Ole Opry. This will be his 21st year as a member. With Vince not scheduled for Friday or Saturday night, I thought this would be a good time to post the line-up from the night he joined the Opry.
